Saw, in person, this dude drop 40 in the Vegas Summer League a few years ago and have been obsessed ever since. If he never pans out, I have plenty of excuses lined up.
It's weird how Minnesota have essentially 3 similar players in Beasley, Williams, and Randolph. For some reason, I believe two of them will be traded in the offseason. It's funny, I could see it being Williams and Randolph as the odd men out. Though, the suitors will be among these teams -- Houston, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix, Toronto, and Boston.
Randolph has the most skills out of their 3 like players - Beasley has been the most productive, and Williams has probably the best shooting. Together they make one superstar player if all their skills were in one body - and you have to use Williams head. That being said, Randolph's skillset is intriquing, but with Parsons I am not sure he would get the playing time he needs, someone needs to get him and just put him in the starting lineup and live with the results - my guess is he goes to the Spurs at some point and they pull a Stephen Jackson and turn a malcontent into an NBA player. DD
I get everyone loves the Spurs right now but remember Spurs were not that good during the Richard Jefferson era and little before that. They can't turn every player into a good player. Certain players yes but not all of 'em.
Trade Morris for D.Lamb (whoever drafts him) and sign this guy to a 2yr deal worth 7 mil total and a team option in the 2nd year.
If the Rockets were over the cap, I'd say he's worth a look for the lesser MLE(~$3mil). But the Rockets are not, so not worth anything beyond vet minimum.
Anthony Randolph ( or Micheal Beasley for that matter) is not a SF. He is a stretch 4. Neither are fast enough to guard 3's.
No...maybe... Damn you brain! Faced with interesting decision......... If that pick isn't packaged in a deal for 'The Superstar', then Morey may use that pick to get a reclamation project prospect.... I just don't think that he is that good, or consistent. We need a center or a power power forward, so answer will remain No.
We need a big low post center and a tall, athletic PF that can play the perimeter or drop into the paint.
If they could somehow fashion a trade to where they could send Martin and get Randolph with that 18th pick this year? Yes.
Yes, in a heartbeat. Randolph has shown he can play. Great talent and young. The 16th pick won't give us anyone with more potential than him.
